Ryan Cahak joined the Lipscomb men’s basketball squad in 2012 after spending two seasons as graduate assistant coach at the University of Tennessee where he worked with the likes of Milwaukee Bucks forward Tobias Harris, the 19th pick of the 2011 NBA draft.

Before heading to “Rocky Top” to work with the Volunteers post players, Cahak spent one season at Colgate as the Raiders director of operations.

A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Cahak suited up for his hometown Orange under legendary coach Jim Boeheim for three seasons after graduating from St. Thomas More School in Oakdale, Conn.
